Important Safety Instructions
WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance.
If using the optional power supply:
DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your fitness bike from the electrical
outlet prior to cleaning and/or service work.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, install the
fitness bike on a flat level surface with access to a 220-volt, 10-amp grounded outlet with only the fitness
bike plugged into the circuit.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14AWG OR BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE
OUTLET ON THE END:
Do not operate fitness bike on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and
fitness bike may result.
Keep children away from the fitness bike. There are obvious pinch points and other caution areas
that can cause harm.
Keep hands away from all moving parts.
Never operate the fitness bike if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the fitness bike is not working
properly, call your dealer.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being
administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous environment.
Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
Do not use outdoors.
To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, then remove the plug from the outlet.
Do not attempt to use your fitness bike for any purpose other than for the purpose it is intended.
The hand pulse sensors are not medical devices. Their purpose is to provide you with an
approximate measurement in relation to your target heart rate. Use of a chest transmitter strap
(sold separately) is a much more accurate method of heart rate analysis .Various factors, including
the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are
intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general.
Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable for use on your
fitness bike. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!
CAUTION!! Please be careful when opening this unit.

Product Features
Pedals
Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert, our
engineering has developed a breakthrough in pedal design. Typical stationary exercise bikes are wider
than a normal road bike. The reason is to allow for the braking mechanism, pulleys, drive components
and plastic covers. Since the bike is wider, so is the distance between the pedals; this width between the
pedals is called the Q factor.
We have designed our pedal system so the Q factor is the smallest in the industry, but we did not stop
there. We have also custom designed and tooled a new pedal that provides a 2° inward tilt to
compensate for the Q factor not being perfect. Having a small Q factor in addition to the 2° inward tilt of
the pedals puts the user into a biomechanical neutral alignment. This means that your feet, ankles,
knees and hips are lined up properly ensuring a comfortable workout.
Transportation
The fitness bike is equipped with two transport wheels that are engaged when the rear of the fitness bike
is lifted.
Seat Adjustability
When adjusting the seat to a higher position, just pull up on the seat. The design features a
ratcheting mechanism that will lock into place. If you need to lower the seat, pull horizontally on the on
the right side of the frame until the post locks into one of the grooves.
Console
The console will display RPM, Calories burned, Time (elapsed or countdown), Distance travelled, Pulse,
Resistance Level, Program Name, Speed, Watts, and number of Laps completed. There is also a
resistance level profile graph that lets you see how hard you have worked and how challenging the
upcoming segments will be.
11
MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE
There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console. This figure will light all areas that are
activated when using the bike. These will light up during any of the programs. You can control which
muscles are activated by customizing the resistance profile during the set up phase of console
programming. If you accept the default program profile, the selected program will determine which
muscles will be activated by automatically adjusting the resistance. Generally the following guidelines
hold true:
• The upper body LED’s will not light
• The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of
engagement: Green represents minimal muscle
involvement, yellow represents medium involvement, and
red represents full or heavy activation.
• These are the different scenarios for lower body muscle
activation:
• Levels 1-10: Green – Hamstrings & Gluteals light up;
Yellow –Quadriceps & Calves light up
• Levels 11-20: Yellow – Hamstrings & Gluteals light up;
Red–Quadriceps & Calves light
up
HEART RATE % PROFILE
The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a
pulse is detected. The Bar Graph, located to the right of the LCD screen, will
show your current heart rate % in relation to your projected maximum heart
rate, which is determined by your age that you entered during the
programming phase of any of the 10 programs. The significance of the bar
graph colors are as follows:
• 50-60% of maximum is Amber
• 65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green
• 85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red

Power
When the A.C. Power cord is connected to the fitness bike, the console will automatically power
up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the console will go to stand-by mode. In
stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn the console on press any key.
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the
lights will turn on. When the lights go off, the Message Center will show the software version (i.e.:
VER 1.0). The distance window shows the distance in miles and the time window shows the total
hours of use. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different profiles of the
programs and the message window will be scrolling the start up message. You may now
begin to use the console.
13
Dot Matrix Center Display
Twenty columns of boxes (8 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The boxes only show an
approximate level (resistance) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specific value - only an
approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the resistance dot matrix
window will build a profile “picture” as values are changed during a workout.
The resistance profiles will display half of the program at one time (9 columns).They will both scroll right
to left. The Lap track will move in a counterclockwise direction.
1/4 Mile(0.4K) Track
The 1/4-mile track (one lap) will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing segment
indicates your progress. Once the 1/4-mile (Metric - 0.4k) is complete this feature will begin again. There
is a lap counter in the message window for monitoring your distance.
Pulse Grip Feature
The Pulse (Hear t Rate) console window will display your current hear t rate in beats per minute during
the workout. You must use both stainless steel sensors on the front cross bar or the hear t rate
transmitter chest strap to display your pulse. Pulse value displays anytime the upper display is receiving
a Pulse signal. You may not use the Grip Pulse feature while in Hear t Rate Programs. Note: Refer to
Important Safety Instructions (page 2) concerning Pulse Grip operation.
Calorie Display
Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout. Note: This is only a
rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which cannot be used for medical
purposes.
Speakers
The console has built-in Speakers. You may plug an Audio Source (CD player, MP3, Computer, etc.) into
the Jack on the right side of console. There is no volume control on the console. The volume must be
controlled on the Audio Source.
14
Quick Start
This is the quickest way to star t a workout. After the console powers
up you just press the Start key to begin, this will initiate the Quick Star t
mode. In Quick Star t the Time will count up from zero and the workload
may be adjusted manually by pressing the LevelƒUp/ Down buttons.The
dot matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you
increase the work load more rows will light indicating
a harder workout.The fitness bike will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety.The first 5 levels are ver y easy
workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned users.
Levels 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next remain
small. Levels 11-15 star t getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels
16-20 are extremely hard and are good for shor t inter val peaks and elite athletic training.
Basic Information
The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name.
When in scan mode during a program, speed will be displayed for four
seconds, then move on and display Watts (indication of workload). If
100 watts is displayed, you are doing enough work to keep a 100-watt
light bulb lit.The data changes to Laps completed, Segment time, Max
level. Pressing the Enter button again will bring you back to
the beginning.
The Stop button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key
once during a program will pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need
to get a drink, answer the phone or any of the many things that could
interrupt your workout, this is a great feature.To resume your workout
during Pause, just press the Start key. If the Stop button is
pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and the console
will display your Workout Summar y (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg. HR, total Laps). If the
Stop key is held down for 3 seconds or a third time during the program, the console will perform a
complete Reset. During data entr y for a program the Stop key performs a previous
screen or segment function.This allows you to go back to change programming data.
15
Program Keys
The program keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you may
press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you want to
try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the
program and enter into the data-setting mode.
The fitness bike has a built in hear t rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors
on the stationary handle bars or wearing the hear t rate transmitter (see Using Hear t Rate Transmitter
section) will star t the Hear t Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds).The Pulse Display Window
will display your hear t rate, or Pulse in beats per minute.
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the button on the
left side of the console.
Programming The Console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your
needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be
asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Hear t Rate programs to
ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too
high or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although
we cannot provide an exact calorie count, we do want to be as close as possible.
CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on ever y piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at
home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your
progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical
setting connected to a host of machines. This is because ever y person is different and burns calories
at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories at an accelerated rate for
at least an hour after you have finished exercising!
Entering A Program And Changing Settings
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option of
entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then just
press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the star t of your
workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the Message
Center. If you star t a program without changing the settings,
the default or saved settings will be used.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age
and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the
first time you use the fitness bike, you will not have to enter it ever y time you work out unless either
your Age or Weight changes, or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
16
Manual
The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This
means that you control the workload and not the computer. To star t the
Manual program, follow the instructions below or just press the Manual
button, then the Enter key and follow the directions in the
Message Center.
1. Press the Manual key, then press the Enter key.
2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter
your age, using the Up/Down keys, then press the Enter key to
accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.
. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the Weight
value using the Up/Down keys, then press Enter to continue.
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the Time and press Enter to continue.
5. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your
workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go back and modify
your settings by pressing the Stop key. NOTE: At any time during
the editing of Data you can press the Stop key to go back
one level, or screen.
6. Once the program starts you will be at level one. This is the easiest
level and it is a good idea to stay at level one for a while
to warm up. If you want to increase the work load at any time press
the Up key; the Down key will decrease the work-load.
7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the
data in the Message Center by pressing the Enter key.
8. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same
program again or Stop to exit the program or you can save the
program you just completed as a custom user program by pressing
a User key and following the instructions in the Message Center.
17
Preset Programs
The fitness bike has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts.
These five programs have factor y preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.
HILL
Resistance: This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately
10% of maxi- mum effort (the level that you chose before star ting this program) up to a maximum effort
which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to
approximately 10% of maximum effort.
RESISTANCE
FAT BURN
Resistance: This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum resistance level (default or
user input level) that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your ability to
sustain your energy output for an extended period of time.
RESISTANCE
CARDIO
Resistance: This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or
user input level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then
recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your heart muscle and
increase blood flow and lung capacity
RESISTANCE
18
STRENGTH
Resistance: This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is
sustained for 25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower
body and gluts. A brief cool down follows.
RESISTANCE
INTERVAL
Resistance: This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low
intensity. This program utilizes and develops your ”Fast Twitch” muscle fibers which are used when
performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your
heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular
system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently.
RESISTANCE
19
Programming Preset Programs
1. Select the desired program button then press the Enter key.
2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may
adjust the age setting, using the Level Up/Down keys, then press
the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the
next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the
Weight value using the Level Up/Down keys, then press Enter to
continue.
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the time and press Enter to
continue.
5. Now you are asked to adjust the Max Resistance Level. This is
the peak exertion level you will experience during the program.
Adjust the level and then press Enter.
6. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your
workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go back and
modify your settings by pressing the Enter key.
7. If you want to increase or decrease the resistance at any time
during the program, press the Level Up/Down keys on the
console or above the hear t rate sensor grips of the stationary
handlebars. This will change the resistance settings of the entire
profile, although the profile picture on the screen will not change.
The reason for this is so that you can see the entire profile at all
times. If the profile picture is changed, it also would be distorted
and not a true representation of the actual profile. When you
make a change to the resistance, the Message Center will show
the current column and program maximum levels of work.
8. During the program you will be able to scroll through the data in
the message window by pressing the Enter key.
9. When the program ends the Message Center will show a
summary of your workout. The summary will be displayed for a
short time, then the console will return to the star t-up display.
20
Custom User Defined Programs
There are two customizable User programs that allow you to build and save your own workout. The
two programs, Userƒ1 and Userƒ2, operate exactly the same way so there is no reason to describe
them separately. You can build your own custom program by following the instructions below or you
can save any other preset program you complete as a custom program. Both programs allow you to
further personalize it by adding your name.
1. Press the User 1 or User 2 key. The Message Center will show a welcome message. If you had
previously saved a program the message will contain your name. Then press the Enter key to
begin programming.
2. When you press Enter, the Message Center will show “Name - A”, if there is no name saved. If
the name “David” had been previously saved the Message Center will show “Name - David” and
the D will be blinking. If there is a name saved you can change it or you may press the Stop key
to keep the name and continue to the next step. If you want to enter a name use the Up/Down
key to change the first letter then press Enter to save the first letter and continue to the next letter.
When you have finished entering the name press the Stop key to save the name and continue to
the next step.
3. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the Level
Up/Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next
screen.
4. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight value using the Up/
Down keys or the numeric key pad, then press Enter to continue.
5. Next is Time. You may adjust the time and press Enter to continue.
6. Now you are asked to adjust the Max Resistance Level of the program, press Enter when
resistance has been selected.
7. Now the first column will be blinking and you are asked to adjust the resistance level for the first
segment(SEGMENT > 1) of the workout by using the Level Up key. When you finish adjusting
the first segment, or if you don’t want to change, then press Enter to continue to the next
segment.
8. The next segment will show the same workload resistance level as the previously adjusted
segment. Repeat the same process as the last segment then press Enter. Continue this
process until all twenty segments have been set.
9. The Message Center will then tell you to press Enter to save the program. After saving the
program the Message Center says “New program saved” then will give you the option to star t or
modify the program. Pressing Stop will exit to the star t up screen.

Heart Rate Programs
“WARNING! Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result in
serious injury or death. If you feel faint stop exercising immediately“
Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate:
The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising
comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the
proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was
either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the
desired benefit range.
To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your Maximum Heart
Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will give you
the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart rate range
for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage of your MHR. Your Heart rate training zone is 50%
to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the zone that burns fat while 80% is for
strengthening the cardio vascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.
For someone who is 40 years old their target heart rate zone is calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute
(60% of maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute
(80% of maximum)
So for a 40 year old the training zone would be
108 to 144 beats per minute.
If you enter your age during programming the
console will perform this calculation automatically.
Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate
programs. After calculating your MHR you can
decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart
and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR for a person
whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular
fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A
definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular
fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your MHR on a
schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise
program.
With all our Heart Rate programs fitness bikes you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using
the Heart Rate program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the nine
different programs. The Heart Rate program automatically controls resistance at the pedals.
22
Rate of Perceived Exertion
Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables
involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health,
emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all
contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of
these things.
The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish
physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you feel
or the perception of your effort.
The scale is as follows:
Rating Perception of Effort
6 Minimal
7 Very, very light
8 Very, very light +
9 Very light
10 Very light +
11 Fairly light
12 Comfortable
13 Somewhat hard
14 Somewhat hard +
15 Hard
16 Hard +
17 Very hard
18 Very hard +
19 Very, very hard
20 Maximal
You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. For
example a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Your RPE will
vary depending up the factors discussed earlier. That is the major benefit of this type of training. If your
body is strong and rested, you will feel strong and your pace will feel easier. When your body is in this
condition, you are able to train harder and the RPE will support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish,
it is because your body needs a break. In this condition, your pace will feel harder. Again, this will show
up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.

Using A Heart Rate Transmitter
Wearing The Chest Strap
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.
Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain
comfortable.
Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your torso facing away
from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center).
Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the
locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.
Position the transmitter directly below the pectoral muscles.
Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals.
However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas
on the reverse side of the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It’s also
recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of
body chemistry, have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming up”,
this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn’t affect performance.
Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong steady signal. The
length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong,
reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter directly on bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you
may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, wet the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.
Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart. Additionally, it
automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant, moisture can
have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to
prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032.
ERRATIC OPERATION
Caution! Do not use this fitness bike for Heart Rate Programs unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate
value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem.
Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Microwave ovens, TV’s, small appliances, etc.
Fluorescent lights.
Some household security systems.
Perimeter fence for a pet.
Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems try
wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the logo is right side up.
The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning the whole
machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.
Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3’ of your machine’s console.
If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
WARNING! - DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS
NOT REGISTERING PROPERLY ON THE TREADMILL’S DISPLAY!

Heart Rate Program Operation
Note: You must wear the heart rate transmitter strap for these programs
Both programs operate the same, the only difference is that HR1 is set to 60% and HR2 is set to
80% of the maximum hear t rate. They both are programmed the same way.
To star t an HR program follow the instructions below or just select the HR1 or HR2
program, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Center.
After selecting your hear t rate target the program will attempt to keep you at or within 3-5
hear t beats per minute of this value. Follow the prompts in the Message Center to
maintain your selected hear t rate value.
1. Press the HRƒ1 or HRƒ2 key then press the Enter key.
2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the Level
Up/Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next
screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight value using the Level
Up/Down keys, then press Enter to continue.
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the time and press Enter to continue.
5. Now you are asked to adjust the Hear t Rate Target. This is the hear t rate level you will strive
to maintain during the program. Adjust the level using the Level Up/Down keys, then press
Enter. Note: The heart rate that appears is based on the % you accepted in Step 1. If you change this number
it will either increase or decrease the % from Step 1.
6. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the
Start key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key. Note:
At any time during the editing of Data you can press the Enter key to go back one screen.
7. If you want to increase or decrease the workload at any time during the program press the
Level Up/Down key. This will allow you to change your target hear t rate at any time during
the program.
8. During the HR 1 or HR 2 programs you will be able to scroll through the data in the
Message Center by pressing the Enter key.
9. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop to exit
the program or you can save the program you just completed as a custom user program by
pressing a User key and following the instructions in the Message Center.

General Maintenance
1.
2.
Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.
If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two
reasons:
I. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed
during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be necessary to use a larger wrench than the
one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufficiently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the ser
vice department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware.
II. The crank arm nut needs to be retightened
III. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 2 leveling pads on the
bottom of the rear stabilizer, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the levelers.
Engineering Mode Menu
The console has built in maintenance/diagnostic software. The software will allow you to change the
console settings from English to Metric and turn off the beeping of the speaker when a key is
pressed for example. To enter the Engineering Mode Menu, press and hold down the Start, Stop and
Enter keys. Keep holding the keys down for about 5 seconds and the Message
Center will display Engineering Mode Menu. Press the Enter button to access the menu below:
